Transform your region into a geocaching hotspot

Invite geocachers from around the world to your destination with an official Geocaching GeoTour.

GeoTours are customized packages pointing travel-ready geocachers to your destination. It's a straightforward marketing program where your location becomes a focal point for the game, appealing to both locals and tourists. With access to measurable data, you can track the effectiveness of your investment.

Showcase top attractions, such as parks, historic districts, wineries/breweries, and other points of interest, or bring players to the lesser known hidden gems by placing geocaches there. These geocaches are grouped together as an official GeoTour, providing incentive for the geocaching community to visit your area.
